Mission Autonomy Systems Assessment Event

SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM Program Executive Office SOF Digital Applications (PEO-SDA), will host a series of events to identify and evaluate decentralized and collaborative mission autonomy solutions for heterogeneous, multi-platform, multi-domain unmanned systems in support of the Unmanned Systems Autonomy and Interoperability (UxSAI) program. 

Fielding and sustaining autonomy on unmanned systems requires mission autonomy software capable of executing diverse missions within complex, rapidly changing environments and traditional vertical-stack autonomy is constrained by proprietary, vendor-locked software architectures and is highly vulnerable to communications denial in contested electromagnetic environments. Decentralized mission autonomy addresses this gap by enabling peer-to-peer coordination, dynamic re-tasking, and localized planning without real-world communications or centralized command constraints. The UxSAI Program is seeking a mission autonomy software solution that can seamlessly integrate into the government-owned Collaborative Heterogeneous Autonomy Operations Software (CHAOS) baseline, allowing program personnel to rapidly field new capabilities independently.

The goal is to identify mission autonomy software providers capable of delivering decentralized and collaborative autonomy solutions that integrate with the CHAOS baseline for multi-platform, multi-domain unmanned systems. The selected provider should deliver an open, modular capability that UxSAI personnel can configure and sustain organically, without ongoing vendor dependency for software development, and the UxSAI program intends to complete test and evaluation (T&E) on vendor deliverables as a part of this event.
